Farecast congratulates board member Erik Blachford in his new role as CEO of TerraPass. Since joining the board in late 2006 and investing earlier this year, Erik’s been an important contributor to the direction and innovation created here at Farecast. He will continue to serve on our board as he takes on his new position.
TerraPass is an environmental start up that sells carbon offsets to counterbalance the carbon dioxide we all spew into the environment when we drive, fly and use electricity. If you haven’t seen An Inconvenient Truth, check it out. The numbers and trends don’t lie; global warming is a critical issue. With TerraPass, it only takes minutes to make a difference. For example, $80 just bought me 20,000 lbs of CO2 which will offset the 12,000 miles I expect to drive this year. Terrapass will use most of that money to fund renewable energy projects, which will reduce greenhouse gas pollution and counterbalance the emissions from my driving.
